Spacelocker- A Network Aggregator
Over the last few weeks we have been writing about how Spacelocker has connected with specific networks on the Web. The service and tools Spacelocker is providing are called “aggregation” — a process of collecting data from various networks into one place.
The social networks that Spacelocker aggregates are Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, Bebo, and Friendster. For photo aggregation we have Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket. For video there is YouTube and Photobucket. For music, Last.fm and Dizzler are available. You can also connect your Skype network to Spacelocker. And of course there is quick access to a variety of email accounts from hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo mail, to Aol.
What makes this aggregation so useful is that you do not have to leave your locker to access other networks that you are a member of. In addition you can share pictures and videos you have stored in other networks with your Spacelocker friends right from inside your locker.
Here’s a cool example. Imagine being at Starbucks with a friend. You meet some new people and want to show them some photos you have stored in Facebook, Picasa, MySpace,and Flickr over the years. Just log into your Spacelocker account, open your locker page, click on the icons of those websites and up come thumbnails of your pictures. Click on any thumbnail and you will go to the website and see a regular sized picture. When you have finished looking at those photos just close that site. Click on another website icon and zazoom you are into another network looking at another set of photos without having to login or leave the locker.
Or say you are in between classes or on a work break. You don’t have much time. You want to see what’s going on in your Facebook, MySpace, and Hi5 accounts. Just open your Spacelocker account, go to your locker page and click on any of the network icons. Then click on a thumbnail of any of your friends in that network. You will go to that network where you can quickly navigate. Close that network and open another and navigate there. All from one place — your locker page in Spacelocker.
Another cool thing about the aggregation on Spacelocker is that your Spacelocker friends get to see when you make changes on your other networks. There is a feed which will show them your latest pictures and videos. When they see you have a new feed in your added networks they can click on the network icon on your locker wall and go and see what photos and videos you have added.
So hook up all the networks that you are a member of that Spacelocker provideds. You will see quickly how convenient it is and how many ways you can use it.
Spacelocker – one place to your online stuff.
